University of Massachusetts junior center Cady Lalanne had his best game as a Minuteman in the 86-73 season-opening win over Boston College at TD Garden Sunday. A day later, he has a nice little accolade to show for it.

On Monday, Lalanne was named Atlantic 10 Conference player of the week for his 27-point, 12-rebound, 3-block performance. Eighteen of those points came in the second half as the Minutemen went on a 33-9 run to take over.

"That feels pretty good, just to get," Lalanne said. "I mean, I feel like every week somebody on our team should be on the list. So I feel pretty good about it."

It was the seventh double-double for Lalanne, a feat coach Derek Kellogg has repeatedly said he'd like to see his 6-foot-10 big man achieve on a nightly basis.
